Episode notes
Fed Shift Toward Employment Focus
- Jerome Powell signaled a Fed shift toward focusing on employment rather than strictly hitting 2% inflation.
- That implies tolerance for somewhat higher inflation to avoid steep unemployment rises.

- Rising inflation plus rolling-over jobs risk stagflation, which the Fed fears.
- Powell appears willing to accept inflation above 2% rather than trigger a sharp employment spike.

- Brandon says the system is in a long-running debt spiral that accelerates toward a tipping point.
- He compares policy dynamics to a drain that speeds up as it nears collapse.
